Claiming compensation for work related skin cancer.

Awareness of the dangers presented by occupational skin cancer is thankfully improving, but workers and their families continue to be affected by this dreadful disease. It is particularly common in trades and professions where workers are exposed to direct sunlight.

Those who are seriously affected by occupational skin cancer can turn to the law to recover compensation where their condition can be linked to their current job or a previous occupation.

UK employers have a legal duty to make certain that employees do not suffer harm while they are at work, and this obligation includes taking action to protect them from suffering work related skin cancer.

So anyone who is unfortunate enough to be diagnosed with skin cancer, it is always worth considering whether it might be linked to their employment.

Where someone’s skin cancer can be attributed to their working environment then they can make a compensation claim. Awards will compensate the victim not just for the condition itself, but they will also be entitled to claim loss of earning, medical costs and other financial expenses.

Where the condition is terminal then a claim can be made for financial provision for their spouse, children and any other dependants.
